This is my almost favourite frag. My favourite is the original - a vintage one dating back from the 80's. This is clearer, softer and perhaps a little more feminine than the original. It lacks a bit of the bitteness in the basenotes, but more important the blast - "umph" - when you put it on. Still it's a very beautiful, feminine scent. After the initial galbanium/hyacint hit you can almost see the soft petals from the jasmine and rose surround you. It's also perfectly following the three stages from top to base without beeing monotone in any sense. The drydown is beautifully elegant from the oakmoss and patchouli. I'm amazed! They don't do perfumes like this anymore and still they've succeded again. This is what I call a chypre. Yet it misses a bit of the thrill that the original gives you, A gutsier start and more of bitterness in the end as the original Givenchy III has would make it more intriguing. But maybe the original should be just the original? I have the priviliged possibility to use this one daytime and the original nighttime, as long as they both lasts.

Givenchy iii was my "one and only" for most of my adult life, devastated when it was discontinued and was so excited to hear it was re-launched but new version is feeble by comparison. If you are a fan of the original in all its earthy glory, buy vintage only!!

I was introduced to this perfume over 20 years ago. The last time I was able to purchase one (prior to finding it on FragranceX was back in the mid 1990's and since then I've not been able to find it anywhere. Thank you FragranceX for selling my very favourite perfume of all time

Great to find this older fragance which seems to be getting increasingly rare. It was bought for a family member as a thank you present, knowing that it is the only fragrance that she will wear.I know she will be absolutely over-the-moon when she receives it.
